Contexts

I'm about to launch into an experiment that will do some new things
inside the PG server. I'm sure to have a lot of problems, and one
of them I can already tell is going to be difficult is the business
of contexts: memory contexts, scan contexts and the like.

Before I go around shooting myself in the foot, I would like to
educate myself about how they work inside the current code. Does
anyone know where best to look? It can be the code, better if it's
a document. I'm happy to RTFM or RTFC, but I'd like to know where
to start.

changeless amid change"
